The Law on kissing.

In Brooklyn court the other, day a
young man was Convicted of stealing a
kiss from Z pretty girl. w..
The culprit made no defense beyond
the miserable plea that he couldn't
help it." and there was nothing for the
stern judge to do but to pronounce SEN
tence.
bis honor was fully equal to the oc-
casion. In the course of his remarks
he said: .~
There is no objection, SO far as ]
can see. to a man kissing girl if she
is willing. But you must not do it
against her will. She has a right to OBJ.
ject, and if she does you mustn't do it..
BE sure she is willing before you try"
The lame part of the law is it's fail
ure to prescribe the test of willingness
in such cases. OF course the girl al

Of course the decision of the Brook

Who Was Gains Wife?

The Methodist preachers meeting
discussed the pre-Adamite hypothesis,
says the San Francisco Chronicle,
Rev. DR.. Benson taking the lead with
an essay. The question whether Adam
was really the first man, and, if So
where Cain obtained his wife, were, ne
said,. still open for discussion. The
advocate Of the pre- Adamite theory
held that pre.existing races may have
covered half the globe before the com
mencement OF the Adamic race. Who
were the ''sons of God" OF whom it
is said that they "saw the daughters
OF men that they were fair?" Accord
ing to the pre-Adamite theory they
were OF the pre-existing races. That
racial differences had been caused by
differences OF climate or habits OF liv.
ing could hardly be believed Facial
representations on monuments 4OOC
years old showed the same racial diff
ferences that existed to-day. Accord
ing to this hypothesis, the co|o:ed
races We're descended from the pre-
Adamites.
DIR. Coyle said the question where
Cain obtained his wife had been pressed
upon him recently by layman; but
he could not accept the theory pre-
scented by DR.. Benson. Adam and Eve
might have had other children not
mentioned in the scriptures. There
are no relics OF any pre-Adamite races.
DIR. Thompson and Rev. Bovard al
SO objected to the hypothesis.
DR.. Anthony said unless some such
theory was adopted our ideas OF
scriptural chronology must oe
changed.
i. Or. Wythe observed that all the
Languages Of the earth had been found
to be related to each other. The in
terence was that all men were He
opposed the pre-Adamite theory and
maint aimed that all were OF one stock.
Chevaller, q French archuoiosist,
held the negro and the Chinaman to
belong to the pre-Adamite races.
In closing, DR.. Benson remarked
that Bishop Haven held that both
Adam and Christ were black men.

Bradstreet' sjournal gives carefully

during the year about 450, 900 hands

genealogy OF all families that continue

everybody would like to know his own

Paul on Wednesday, Feb. 2, at IL o'clock
q. M. and continue in session until it's
work is completed. Conferences with rep
CT organizations, Knights of Labor
and other labor assemblies, win be held on
the afternoon Of the second day OF the
meeting. The state alliance is composed
OF it's officers, the deputy state lecturers,
and one delegate from each county and
subordinate alliance in the state. No per-
son can represent subordinate alliance
in the meeting of the state alliance
unless he is member thereof,
q practical, operative farmer and is
duly elected delegate or alternate by
state alliance was due Oct. l, and alliances
that are in arrears arc respectfully re-
quested to forward the same to the
secretary on or before the first day
of the meeting, in order to be entitled to
representation. The headquarters of the
executive committee of the alliance will be
at the Windsor hotel, St. Paul. where
they can be found at ali times when not
attending sessions OF the alliance. In issu.
ing the call we wish to congratulate you
upon the growth of the order, but more
especially upon the adoption of our prin-
ciples by the people OF the state at large.
The entire press OF the state is sounding
explaining and defining ayour measures.
The political parties were pleased to pre-
sent your principles AZ leading planks
in their platforms. The legislators
elect employed your measures as campaign
arguments, and freely pledged themselves to
enact measures OF relief dictated by you.
The governor.elect in his annual message,
not only approves of our measures, but
presents practical suggestions for consider
alton. The passage OF the oleomargarine
law by congress, and the Interstate COM
merce bill soon to become a law, are evil
dences of the growth Of your principles in
the country at large. We trust that you
will come together at our state meeting
with an earnest determination to main
tain your ground until you have accom-
phshed that for which you have organized.
BY direction of the executive committee.

Bound to Marry the Anarchist.

Z Chicago Special:-Marriage License Clerk
Eugene Seeger received the following dis
patch from Mrs. John Arthurs OF Pitts
burg Pa: tissue no license to Miss Van
Zandt and Spies to be married. We forbid
the marriage" Mrs. Arthurs is Miss Van
Zandt's aunt, Seeger says he viii refer the
matter to County Clerk Wolff, and
act under his Instructions. The dispatch
from Mrs. Arthurs was read to Miss Van
Zandt at her home by reporter. Tho
young woman said: Il consider it an un-
warrantable outrage. There, now" In
vain Mrs. Van Zandt mildly interposed.
III you interrupt me, mamma, you or 1
will have to leave the room,' she contin-
ued, with flashing eyes. THAT message
from Pittsburg consider an unwarranta-
bic interference, and it will not deter me in
the least. I have a bomb ready to be
published. It was written by Mr..
Spies, and ia an account OF his life, and
will also contain all the letters written to
me. have written the preface myself. 1t
will be published by Nina Van Zandt,
which will be something Off novelty. don t
you know. for at that time there will be no
such person. I shall then be Mrs. Spies. :"
The prospective bride added that it had
become necessary to postpone their mar
riage again somewhat, and that the cere-
mony would not take place when stated,
but the delay would not be long. Marriage
License Clerk Seeger thinks that this. is g.
device of the anarchists to create SYM
pathy with Spies and procure his pardon.

Not a single Philadelphia paper
printed the annual message of the
governor Of Pennsylvania this year.
1t was altogether too long. Why can
not public officials learn the art OF
condensation? There are very few
people who will deliberately sit down
to read a dozen Or twenty columns OF
fine type, that might with reasonable
skill, be reduced two.thirds. Diffusive-
ness is altogether too common in pub
lie men, and it is an evil that should
be corrected.

Starting out with the evident inten-
tion of having one OF the, hest reads
in the country, they have kept
this object in view all the time, and they
have spared no expense to make the Bur
lington Route from the Northwest, the
most popular OF all the various competing
lines. Feeling that all they had to do was
to get people to 60 over their line
once, in order to have them use
it the next time, 4 they have
spent money literally in advertising the

extent that no other railroad company

cupisd In a recent issue OF the Pi0neer
Press amply testifies. Although only
opened for traffic az late as last November,
the Burlington has, since the first, hadits
full share OF patronage. This no doubt ia
due to the first-elass manner with which
they look out for.the comfort and cOnyen-
fence OF passengers and the easy Rfatles
that make such smooth riding possible
even when the fastest time is being made.
